We’ve reached the final of the FFS Cup following the completion of Gameweek 36+ and £300-worth of prizes will be on the line over the next five days.

The final and third-place play-off of this competition will take place in Gameweek 37+, the deadline for which is at 16:30 BST today.

RESULTS FROM THE SEMI-FINALS CAN BE VIEWED HERE
THE DRAW FOR THE FINAL IS AVAILABLE TO VIEW HERE

Manisaspor saw off Joax2 65-58 in our first last-four clash.

The latter’s score would have been enough to win our other semi-final, which finished 50-46 to Powell.

The losing manager in that tie, Sharpey, will now take on Joax2 in the third-place play-off.

Our two finalists are having a super season, with Manisaspor lurking just outside the top 1k and Powell comfortably in it, sitting at 516th in the world.

Good luck to those involved.

HOW DO THE CUP COMPETITIONS WORK?

The FFS Cup is very similar to the Fantasy Premier League’s own cup game.

Entrants who qualify for the first round were randomly drawn against each other and the winner of the tie is whoever has the highest score from that Gameweek, minus points spent on transfers (like in the original game and in head-to-head scores).

In the event of a draw, the manager highest in the overall FPL rankings after the tie will progress.

WHAT IS THE GAMEWEEK SCHEDULE?

The FFS Cup competition will be played out according to the following proposed Gameweek schedule:

Fantasy Football Scout Cup Round Dates
Qualifying – Gameweek 28

Round 1 – Gameweek 29
Round 2 – Gameweek 30+
Round 3 – Gameweek 31+
Round 4 – Gameweek 32+
Round 5 – Gameweek 33+
Round 6 – Gameweek 34+
Quarter-Final – Gameweek 35+
Semi-Finals – Gameweek 36+
Final and third-place play-off – Gameweek 37+

WHEN ARE THE FIXTURES RELEASED?

    Yeovil vs Barnet 3pm Btsport1

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I hope Yeovil win.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Why?

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I don't like fence-sitting.

  2. Dion D's Solo Shower
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Can't decide whether to play BB this GW or next?

    Pope
    Doherty - Boly - Alonso*
    Salah - Martial - KdB - Bruno - Foden
    Jimmy - Greenwood

    Bench: McCarthy - DCL - Gomez - Lascelles*

    Would transfer out Alonso & Lascelles for possibly a triple Burnley defence (or maybe Egan). But that would still leave me with DCL against Sheffield and Gomez playing Chelsea.
    Next GW, however, Wolves would be playing Chelsea and might not keep a cleanie.

    Any advice?

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 11 Years

    2. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Would you not consider captaining Salah?

      1. Lignja
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        No, not rly

    3. JBG
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      1. Lignja

        Hate Jimenez tbh sold him 2 weeks ago after few blanks and he scored next 2, and that is 3th time this season 🙂

    4. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years

  6. Coys96

    ON BB

    Gayle to J.Rod (-4)

    Worth it? Y/N

    1. BERGKOP
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. J Rod fit again?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Can you afford Wood?

        1. Coys96
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          No unfortunately

          1. Coys96
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Unless 3.9 starts for Burnley

      2. Coys96
        • 9 Years

    5. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, to teach you a lesson for having Gayle in your team!

  7. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Lads, which defender to play?

    VVD Digne Eagan

    All of them have a decent chance of a double digit score so it's a really difficult decision.

    Please advise with reason if possible.

    Thanks,

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Egan imo.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate, why you think like that ?

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Help lads I helped plenty of lads on this page and earlier.

          Thanks

        2. JBG
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Everton are awful in attack atm and looks like they are on the beach. Egan also strong on attacking set pieces.

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 17 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Eagan is top scoring defender post covid break too. Hmmmm... decisions decisions

  8. George James
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Play one

    Pulisic or Nketiah

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pulisic

    2. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pulisic

    3. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Pulisic

  9. Le _ Professeur
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Do we have any news on Aurier guys ?

    1. Kno
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Just that he went to france to visit his mother. Playing or not is up to him

  10. blind faith
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is it likely that Sterling won't start against Watford on Tuesday?
    Thinking of transfering him out for Son.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I am keeping for GW 38 armband. This week he is complete lottery and I don't expect anything

      1. blind faith
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'm bench boosting this week then free hitting next week so I could get him back in to armband.

    2. Le _ Professeur
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think he will get just 45 mins same as last match.

      1. blind faith
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        So sterling 45mims Vs Son (possible) 90mins.

        Tough choice.

  11. Simon69
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Giroud to Aubameyang or Wood?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wood

  12. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Tempted to play egan over TAA. Crazy?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Depends if you are chasing or protecting

    2. Simon69
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Think so yeah

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        You think it's crazy?

    3. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Chasing. Guy ahead has TAA and vvd

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        If chasing there is a logic in it. Chelsea will probably score so you need luck in order TAA not to score attacking points

  13. Peteski29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    1ft with FH next week

    Pope
    AWB TAA Doherty
    Bruno Salah Foden KDB Pulisic
    Rashford Jesus

    McGoveren Shane Long Lascelles Robinson

    Or

    ML leader has Jimenez, Ings and GW - I have Jimenez, Vardy and GW

    a) Save and go big for the last GW
    b) Vardy --> Wood
    c) Vardy + Jimenez --> Auba + Wood (-4)

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      All in in GW 38 imo

  21. 272MK

      6 years, 1 month ago

    Ings

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Foden or even KDB. I suspect KDB wont play again and will start on the bench

  23. Magic Zico

  29. gers23

    Burnley don't score many goals. Are people really expecting returns from their strikers? Norwich did ok at Chelsea

    1. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Before facing Norwich, Antonio had scored 4 goals ALL SEASON.

      1. gers23
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Lol does it make more sense to get a defender in? Just as likely to score

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      but when they do ......

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      One of these pro pundits must have started this Chris Wood bandwagon. Seems in full flow on here. Seems a 1 goal max kind of player.

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He was always a good choice for these two matches - assuming fit. Whether he makes it happen is an entirely different matter because you don't get Ronaldo for 6.1 million.

    4. antis0cial
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Norwich didn’t win a header in their own box, just Chelsea squandered lots of chances. Wood is a beast in the air. It’s a cheap worthwhile punt, none owner here.

  30. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A
